The fundamental structure of enterprise networks has changed dramatically with mobility and mixed hardware/software platforms thus making it necessary to rework basic system administration tasks such as backup operations, host authentication, managing hardware/software configurations including patches, and provision of shared disk storage. NCSA has developed and is currently testing a software tool that can be used in a dynamic heterogeneous environment to better manage these distributed network-based tasks. This paper briefly presents the software architecture, GUI features, and preliminary results using this tool with plans for future deployment and distribution release.
